It's a rather chilly morning here in East Tennessee... frost was on the roof and the sun was very slow in coming up this morning. Today will be a busy one for me- it's errand day and after several stops, I'll be heading home with the back of my little 4Runner overflowing with feed for the animals and groceries for us.

Last year I posted a recipe for molasses cookies- Hubby enjoyed them so much he gobbled them up as fast as I could bake them. He put in a request for them again the other day, but after turning the house upside down looking for the recipe I still couldn't find it.... then it hit me- crazy girl, look on your blog! Once I get the rest of the ingredients today I'll be making a batch (or five) for the weekend.

If you missed this post and want to go back for the recipe (it's worth it to see the glorious color photos of the mess I made) then click *here*.

Thank you so much for all your advice and encouragement over my sewing machine's sudden decision not to cooperate with me anymore... After taking it completely apart and giving it time to think about the err of it's ways, it has decided once more to be my friend. And thanks to my wonderful Hubby for being Mr. Fixit. Happy (Fallish) Wednesday!

Just a quick post today to show you a couple of fall pumpkins I worked on yesterday.... before my sewing machine was suddenly possessed with an evil force. I was trying to fix a hole in a pair of hubby's jeans, and the machine jammed. Not only was it jamming again this morning, but now I can't get the bobbin thread to come up. I've tried all the simple remedies- changing needles, changing thread, checking to see if the bobbin and machine are threaded properly.... *Sigh*
I am going right now to start taking my machine apart (it needs a good cleaning anyway) and for those of you who have sewing machine wisdom, please feel free to comment... any help or advice from my wonderful blogging friends would be appreciated.

I live on a tiny farm in East Tennessee with my husband. When I'm not tending sheep or chasing chickens out of my flower beds, I love to spin, weave, and sew. I'm also "mom" to two English bulldogs~ a baby boy named Tug, born 9/11/18, and to Lily, who passed away 11/21/18 but will live in my heart forever.
